Crystal Palace expect to seal the signing of France international Steve Mandanda imminently.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper underwent a medical at the French base camp, Clairefontaine, and will join teammate Yohan Cabaye in south London after rejecting the chance to be Chelsea’s backup as a replacement for Asmir Begovic.

Palace will pay Marseille around £1.9million for the experienced shotstopper and are set make him number 1.

Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has told friends that he will fight for his place at Selhurst Park but his camp are known to already be sounding out potential suitors over a deal.

The Eagles also have Alex McCarthy and Julian Speroni in their playing squad.
